Step 1) Run a Sentry Node

Before running a Sentry node on, install the following prerequisites:

Once all the required dependencies are installed, create a JSON file config.json with the following content:

{
    "snapshot_url": "https://ss.router.nodestake.org/2024-08-11_router_8721632.tar.lz4",
    "seed_peers": "ebc272824924ea1a27ea3183dd0b9ba713494f83@router-mainnet-seed.autostake.com:27336,13a59edcee8ede7afa62ae054f266b44701cedc0@213.246.45.16:3656,10fec659763badc3ec55b845c2e6c17a70e77fd5@51.195.104.64:15656,49e4a20d999fe27868a67fc72bc6bf0e1424a610@188.214.133.133:26656,28459bddd2049d31cf642792e6bb87676edaee1e@65.109.61.125:23756,3f2556a0e390fa6f049e85fc0b27064f9ebdb9d7@57.129.28.26:26656,e90a88795977f7cc24982d5684f0f5a4581cd672@185.8.104.157:26656,fbb30fa866f318e9e1c48188711526fc69f66d18@188.214.133.174:26656",
    "genesis": "https://sentry.tm.rpc.routerprotocol.com/genesis",
    "genesis_checksum": "34de3eda1e4d9cce80328b96256629817c3baa0643413175e372077b027e9781",
    "snap_rpc_url":"https://sentry.tm.rpc.routerprotocol.com/"
}

execute the following curl request from your terminal/command prompt to run a Sentry node on Router's mainnet:

curl -L https://bit.ly/48BNjm4 > r.sh && bash r.sh config.json
info

After running the script, you'll be prompted to choose one of the following two options:

  • Option 1) Install Router - Installs both the orchestrator and the validator.
  • Option 2) Install Orchestrator - Installs just the orchestrator.

In case you are following this setup for the first time, select option 1.

This script will automatically:

  1. Clone the routerd binary
  2. Initialize the chain config
  3. Update the default configuration using mainnet's genesis file
  4. Configure systemd service for cosmovisor
  5. Start syncing the chain
info

Wait for the chain to sync to the latest block before moving to the next step.
